Norton has a tiny fix file for this virus too. My daughter got the virus last night and this fixed her up.

This is not really correct. this is a worm and it seeks you out. If you are connected to the internet and do not have the proper software updates in place, you are vulnerable.
//www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html
There are the details...

Here's a techie news bulletin about it:
The Register
As far as I understand Windows 95, 98 and ME are all NOT affected. |

no... browsing the web indicates that you are moving from site to site in internet explorer or some other web browser.

Once a machine is infected the worm starts scanning for more vulnerable machines (slowing up the net for non M$-puppets grrrr) and then infects these machines.
You don't need to do anything to get infected, just connect to the net :-/
My firewall has taken over 1000 hits on port 135 already today.
Edit: note to self: must type quicker!
